A manager's responsibility is to get her team to achieve the organization's goals. The four functions of a manager are to plan, organize, lead and control her team. Feedback control is a process that ...

Brain-machine interfaces (BMI) create novel sensorimotor pathways for action. Much as the sensorimotor apparatus shapes natural motor control, the BMI pathway characteristics may also influence ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

By measuring each wafer after lithography and adjusting the next etch step, fabs can pull more wafers back into spec.

Process control can be viewed as the executive portion of a unit process. It provides the means to direct a process so that it produces the desired results. It is complementary to the role played by ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Speech production relies on continuous monitoring of one’s own voice via auditory feedback. As articulatory gestures shape sound, the auditory system compares incoming feedback with internal ...

Control is the organization of a function for a specific purpose. Control systems (which change with time) are information processing devices that receive information, act on it, and generate an ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...
